Easy Chicken Cordon Blue

Recipe #153855 | 55 min | 10 min prep | add private note

This is an easy version of cordon blue. If you have never tried to make it before because it sounds intimidating, then you are missing out! This is a really easy way to do it (as most are). I personally think this is a very inexpensive dish!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Take chicken and place on a large cutting board. Put a piece of wax paper (or even saran wrap) over the chicken breast.
  2. 2
    Use a heavy pan, or mallet, and smash the chicken breast till it spreads out to about the size of 2 chicken breasts.
  3. 3
    Then place 2 pieces of ham on the chicken breast and then 2 pieces of cheese.
  4. 4
    Take chicken and roll up into a log. If it isn't holding together, place a couple toothpicks into the chicken to hold in place.
  5. 5
    Roll each piece in the flour, then in beaten egg, then in bread crumbs.
  6. 6
    Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and place in oven at 375°F and bake for 30-45 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through).
  7. 7
    Cut each piece in 2 pieces, and serve!

My husband and I were looking for a Cordon Blue recipe and this is definitely the ONE!! We did use a mustard sauce served over the top. 1/4 c mayo, 1/4 c dijon, 1/4 c heavy cream - sooo yummy!!

    I made this recipe exactly as indicated, and it came out crunchy and golden on the outside and moist and cheesy on the inside! Thanks for making me the hero of dinner tonight!

    Not bad at all. The family liked it: next time I'm gonna fry the chicken for a couple of minutes in butter before baking it. Make it nice and golden. Thanks for posting!

    My daughter ate it all up; she's six! My husband really liked it too, although next time, I will add a sprinkling of blue cheese to ours. It was INCREDIBLY simple to prepare and I had everything in my kitchen. Thank you!
